When the sun finally rose for the new day Polemos was looking at his work with a look of dissatisfaction, as a grotesque, black and bloodied Ashern hung on the wall with patches of skin, muscles, as a huge puddle of blood was at his feet.
'Well I knew I was going to be bad but, I didn't think it would be this bad.' He just shook his head as he smiled while looking over towards Alyan as he made sure to keep him conscious throughout the night.
"Don't worry my friend, your time will soon be upon you. And at that time you'll be soaring high in the sky like those of angels." Polemos smiled an innocent and pure smile as he hinted what was to come but what Alyan saw wasn't a pure and innocent smile. But a smile that came from the depths of the deepest hell.
Then Polemos looked back towards the grotesque, bloodied body of Ashern then back to Alyan and spoke.
"Oh, if you think you'll be getting the same treatment you're dead wrong there Alyan. I've already planned how your death will be for a long time now. But before that happens I need to show you something."
Polemos lowered himself and waved his hand as three urns popped out of his rings in front of him.
"I'm missing two others but, if you can guess who these belong to then I'll let you in on something that will shock you."
But when Alyan saw the three urns the fury and venom in his golden-yellow eyes never faded as he stared at Polemos. Ignoring the three urns. When Polemos saw that he wasn't shocked or surprised as he figured something like this would happen.
"Wow, you really never did care for them at all huh. Well, one is Ellios and the other two are Resam and Nesam. I didn't get Alayahs or Hassan's ashes as I was a little short on time when I killed them. Well Hassan's body just vanished while Alayahs I just completely forgot." Then pointed over his shoulder to the dead body of Ashern. "And well if you actually paid any attention it's kinda obvious why I didn't burn him to ashes."
He then put away the urns as he stood up straight, cracking his back as he looked into the fury filled eyes of Alyan.
"You know, I've found my time here to be quite fulfilling and dissatisfying at the same time since I was brought to this world."
When Alyan heard Polemos his eyes shifted slightly from fury to confusion. Even though rage filled his mind like a raging fire, the words Polemos spoke made him feel slightly uneasy.
When Polemos saw the look in Alyans eyes he smiled as he turned around as he pulled out his heavy axe, grabbed the top of Asherns head then swung his axe severing Asherns head from his bloody and grotesque corpse. As he tossed the head towards Rose as she happily hissed as she crunched and ate his head.
"Surprised by what I said, so would I. I mean everyone was before I killed them." He spoke in a casual tone as he continued to chop and hack apart Asherns body into pieces feeding them to Rose as he continued. "Simply put you did kill the original Polemos, I'm not the original but someone entirely different."
When Alyan heard what Polemos said his mind shuddered as all the rage and fury he had quickly dissolved and was replaced with fear as his eyes went wide.
Polemos looked over his shoulder as he saw the fear in Alyans eyes he chuckled as he continued to chop Asherns body.
"What, the mighty and powerful Alyan is scared. That's hilarious, it looks like you've seen an actual Devil. Well I mean from your perspective it looks like I'm an actual Devil. Who knows, I could possibly be one?" Polemos said as he chopped Asherns other arm off as blood splattered his face. Tossing the severed arm to Rose.
Polemos then ignored the fear stricken Alyan as he continued hacking Asherns body. When he was finally finished he cleaned his axe off and sheathed it as he walked over towards Alyan with blood splattered all over his body as a thick smell of iron entered Alyans nose. Polemos then sat down in front of him as he made a water sphere to clean his hands and face.
After he cleaned himself slightly he looked over at Alyan with a deep look in his purple eyes.
"I'm gonna remove your gag against my better judgment as I need to know something that the original Polemos and then I wanted to know. What was the reason you hated Polemos so much? Was it because of his eyes, because he was an outsider, was he more handsome than you, I just want to know why before I kill you off in front of the whole tribe."
Polemos removed the gag as he awaited his answer but when Alyan saw him remove his gag the fury and hate returned as he only stared into Polemos's deep purple eyes.
Polemos only smiled as he stared back.
When Alyan saw that he hissed through his teeth as he finally decided to answer the Devil who was across from him.
"Looks like the legend of ones with purple eyes is true. You're a true devil." Then he laughed as he spoke with a petty rage. "But that wouldn't be enough to even spark the hate inside me. How dare you be taller and more handsome than I! I'm supposed to be a God above all, everyone should be beneath me with heads lowered! How dare some trash devil outsider dare to be more handsome and taller than I…."
Alyan continued his petty rant but, when Polemos heard the reason why Alyan held such hate and rage towards him, he was a little surprised as he ignored the rest of his meaningless speech as he backhanded Alyan knocking him to the floor as he stood to his feet and spoke.
"Really, that's it? I'm slightly surprised by your petty and child-like hate. If that's your real reasoning then wow. I've taken revenge and killed off all your followers for a bullshit reason like that." He then took a deep breath as he exhaled in exasperation. "The whole start of my so-called legend or story is all because of your self esteem issues, Gods. I thought it was for something, well more, but it's something as petty as me being slightly taller than you as well as being better looking."
Polemos had a look of disgust as he finished as he walked forward and placed his foot atop of Alyans head. When Alyan felt Polemos's foot atop his head he shook with rage as he roared in fury.
"Get your damn foot off my glorious head you trash devil! Release me and start begging for mercy, Mesakyle will definitely send Captain out to search for me when he doesn't get a report back soon." Alyan roared as the look in his eyes never changed but spoke as if he had the upper hand when he tried to threaten Polemos.
When Polemos heard Alyans pathetic threat he laughed in an evil and devilish manner as he increased the pressure on his head. When Alyan felt the pressure increase he started to scream in pain as the sounds of his skull cracking could be heard as Polemos continued to increase the pressure.
"Did you really think that your high IQ threat would work? Captain and I have been working together for a while. You should have noticed or at least realized something when he was late from the first time we met. It seems he hasn't been fond of the way the moron Mesakyle has been leading the tribe. But don't worry you'll see them both before you die as we plan to kill him when we both return. Mesakyle won't even see it coming since Captain will be killing him in the end."
He released his foot from his head before he crushed it beneath his heel. Then crouched down in front of Alyan as he grabbed his lower jaw with an iron-like grip and looked in Alyans eyes as he spoke with no emotion.
"You should enjoy the little time you have left because you'll be dead soon enough. Since the sun is up I have to go and train but, Rose will be watching over you so don't try anything stupid as she's not as nice as I am."
He released Alyans jaw as he walked over to the entrance of the camp but he stopped before he left with a smile on his face with a longing look in his purple eyes as he spoke.
"It'll be over soon."
Then he left to go and train.
The moment Alyan saw the Cursed Devil of the tribe Polemos the Mad One finally leave he ignored his threat as he tried to slowly stand. When he was able to stand a smile formed on his face but, the moment he stood he felt a demonic and terrifying pressure from behind him as he trembled. A low and demonic like hiss entered his ears as he shakily turned his head and noticed that Rose was inches from his face as she opened her mouth revealing rows and rows of razor sharp teeth as she hissed.
When Alyan saw and felt the fear take over his body his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he slumped and fell unconscious as Rose just hissed and slowly crawled back to the fire waiting for Polemos to return.
